THE NEW RESERVOIR.

The committee on waterworks has de-
cided to recommend to the council the
purchase of five lots between Plum and
Mulberry streets, on the brow of the
bluff, upon which to locate the reservoir.
The property belongs to Mr.. Hinckley
and consists of about one and a half
acres, and. can be bought for 81 800. 1t
is considered the best place for the res
ervoir for the reason that the distance
from the watermains is the least and,
with pipe costing So per foot this is quite
an item. The Waterman will be tapped
at Main street and the pipe will run up
that street until the foot of the hill is
reached when it will branch off to the
left. Several other pieces of property
were looked at but were not considered
so desirable as the one the committee
will recommend. The city engineer
will draw plans and specifications at
once and advertise for bids. 1t Is ex-
pected that work will begin soon after
Sept LIST and be completed this year.

GRAVEYARD INSURANCE.
Doctors I'm Michigan Take Out POlicie
ON Their Patients.

The special joint committee OF nve Of the Michi-
gan legislature to investigate the mutual insurance
companies OF the State presented their report to
the house yesterday. They have examined seven
teen companies doing business in the State, and
the disclosures are OF the most startling and dam
aging character. Nearly all OF the assessment
companies were found to be rotten TO the core, In
surfing any one, no matter what their age or state
OF health. or whether the person insured knew OF
the transaction. The testimony taken goes to
show conclusively that nine out OF ten persons
insured In these companies had made no
application, or were they aware that such in
surance had been placed on their lives. The
fciary, who forged the signature to the applica-
tion paid the assessments, and pOcketed the
money paid at death. Representative Chapel, OF

issued on paupers In poorhouses for the benefit Of
the superntendents OF the poor. The investiga-
two policies had been issued on paupers for the
benefit Of superintendent w. 6. Parkiss. he had
received $500 on one OF his policies and $1320 on
another. One OF those insured by Park1Ss was Mrs.
Snow, aged Seventy-seven years, who died within
thirty days The other was aged sixty years
feature Of the testimony deveoped the fact that
the doctors had been In the habit OF taking out
graveyard policies on the lives OF their own pa
tents In one case q doctor acted a agent for
the applicant and medical examiner, and finally In
giving proof OF death. He collected $500 from one
company and 8, $50 from another company on the
death OF hts patient There are several other
similar cases In many cases companies have In
sured persons living In Canada, Germany, Eng
land and sweden, simply that the agent and ON:
